Committee for the 2018–2021 term.

TSIG STRUCTURE CHANGE PROPOSAL  
Richard Lammert, TSIG Chair, led discussion on the need to change 
the TSIG structure. 

He explained that the governing structure is rather vague and 
suggested a rewrite as necessary. 

Discussion ensued with all in attendance. Questions from discussion 
raised centered on: 

 •  Number of committee members needed to run interest group 
effectively.

 • Written clarification on proposed structure change. 

Due to the overwhelming response to the proposal, the discussion was 
tabled for a later date.
